After a couple of weeks of conjecture, Derbyshire's new batting recruit, whose EU passport will enable him to play while qualifying for England, will be announced on Wednesday.
There has been great secrecy around this deal, but rumour suggests that the new player is Dominic Telo, of Western Province and Cape Cobras.
Time will tell, and since I'm away for a few days I'll need to write about the new signing next weekend.
However, if it is Telo, the county will have acquired the services of one of the broghtest young (22) talents in South Africa.
He already boasts an average in the 40s and broke all school records at Wynburg Boys School. Where Jacques Kallis scored 3 centuries, Telo scored ELEVEN!
Were it not Telo, his fellow alumni Richard Levi would do nicely, but it appears that someone of this age is more likely than older players touted such as Stephen Cook and Justin Ontong.
More next weekend.
Telo is the more likely bet, as Levi played for the Cobras on the 4th.
ReplyDeleteI would not rule out Cook though, as he was omitted from the last Lions game (on the 4th). However, Rodney's boy (Ontong) was on show.
